I have a repurposed Zaxxon cab with a rotatable CRT monitor and various swappable control panels (one devoted to Defender alone) to match my favorite JAMMA and non-JAMMA boards. The only games I'm missing out on are the Vectors. This is as close to original as I get without leasing a warehouse.
"If" you're not going to buy the original games in their original cabinets- who really has space for this?? Or the opportunities?? Or the $$'s??
And "if" you still want an *original* experience, then the control panels are more important than emulator vs original PCB's. (At least for most of the games I cared about.) You'll want to choose a cabinet for which you can easily build multiple control panels. I have 5. Probably would be "easier" to have 2 identical (so you can share control panels) cabinets and devote one to the horizontals and one to the verticals. This is the sweet spot.
Yes.
But she'll settle for the 1UP if I add pizza grease and soda spills to the control panel- compliments of Sham's Club deli- and get my dog to use it like a fire hydrant for a week.
Geez, "end badly?"
For $300 you get a hint at the originals for awhile. That's about all most people want. It's hard to get worked up over obsolescence or declining "collectible"(?) value on anything $300.
They'll last as long as you live in the same house, and then get sold on CL or tossed with a third of your junk the next time you move.
Quoted from vid1900:It was around Father's day, a broad finds out (23 & Me) that her father knocked up a Vietnam chick and now she has a 1/2 sister, 1/2 way around the world in the same episode.
I saw this too as a rerun. Followed by a special on the Golden State Killer... "Hey, I mailed in my spit, and now I have a half sister in Vietnam and... dad's a serial rapist from the 70's."

Quoted from benheck:I'd like to apologize for making that divorce joke as it triggered politics in this topic.
You're good. She still has to "forgive" her ex. So they threw the first stone.
